Volunteering

I volunteered at Stray Rescue's new shelter today. It was a blast! I got there early in the morning and thought I would help clean the apartments. However, when I walked in, they actually needed more people to walk dogs, so I scored on the job front. Woohoo! I got to walk five dogs, and I thought I would follow Mary's lead and tell you about the totally sweet pups who are available for adoption right now.

This time I want to talk about Fuji. Look at that beautiful face!

She is just so sweet. She walked great on the leash and was a total lover. I'll warn you though that she is very free with her kisses. :) Another girl who was volunteering with me said she was thinking about fostering and might try little Miss Fuji. I hope she gets a home soon because she totally deserves one.

I also walked Jumper, Diamond, String Bean, and Missy. All were adorable, but Jumper totally surprised me. Coming out if his apartment he was wild and, well, jumping up and down. Once we left the shelter though, he was perfect on the leash. It just goes to show you that you have to give all these dogs a chance. Diamond was a black fluff ball who just wanted to cuddle. String Bean was a little too focused on walking as fast as possible to take much time to socialize. Missy looks so tough but really just wants to be loved.

You know that picture of a crazy cat lady? Well, if left to my own devices, I think I could become a crazy dog lady. So, the moral of this post is to tell you all to think about volunteering, fostering, and adopting so these awesome dogs can get a forever home. They deserve it.

  1. I would totally be a crazy dog lady too if it weren't for Matt reeling me into reality! Glad you got to volunteer.

  2. Yeah, the birds keep me in check, otherwise I would have a ton of them. Did you see Cooper Jo? Oy, he is a tiny, adorable little thing. Pathetic, but adorable. I'm glad you liked volunteering!

  3. I need to get down there to do some walks. David said we should probably walk our dogs before we make time to walk other dogs.
